Walked - Death.

HARTFORD CITY. IND., Dec. 5.-John
Owen Snyder, the famous walker of
Blackford county, died last night. For
ten days past he could no longer walk,
being compelled to keep his bed, and
some member of the family was con-
stantly bathing and rubbing his feet,
and legs. lie walked LIS days and
travelled at least $4,000 miles, over
three times around the world. His
suffering for ten days past were hides
cribable and almost intolerable. NJ.
Snyder was in his 57th year when he
died. lie never murmured or com
planned at his lot. No post mOgte u
could be obtained. Physicians have
never OWNED the true cause Of hi:
maladv. The case is most certainly
unparalleled. Out of 5000 hoU-s lie

ing, has succumbed to the inevitable.
His dauntless spirit nothing but death
could conquer.
On the 2lth Of October 1881, while
working in the timber, near his farm,
Mr.. Snyder fe.t IecUliar sensation in
his arms and hand. They first became
numb, then came an involuntary jerk
ing, twitching and cramping of the
muscles that lasted for a short timo
and then went into his legs. He could
only obtain relief by lifting his fee;
and keeping them constantly in mo
tion. He then commenced walking
in a circle In the rear of his dwelling,
and he has kept up this monotonous
tramp without ceGsing for over three
years Only once, he says, has he lain
down in all that time. and then only
for an hour, and it made him so lame
that he was compelled TO run for five
hours before ne could ieel easy. FOl
him to stop meant death, and lie put
that off until compelled to submit Il

have visited him, but none could eX

German MiIeage Ticket.

Herr George Willie OF Hanover, Ger
many, has submitted to the Board of
Trade at Hildesheim, plan which aims
at reform in the ticket system. He
recommends the issue by the German
railroads of so-called "kilometre cou-
pons, namely, oftraveling booklets for
distances of 600, 1000 and 5000 kilo-
metres. in handy coupons of /. 3, 10. 80
and 100 kilometres. On these the pur-
chaser is to have a reduction o. fare of
% per cent for 1000 kilometres,
SO Is per cent on 1900 kilometres and
80 per cent on 5000 kilometres-a re-
duction which corresponds TO that OF
the present round, return and summer
tickets. The coupons are to be taken
as pavment at all the ticket offices; the
owner of a booklet, which is made per-
sonal. is to be recognized by his pho
tograph therein inserted, with his sig
nature attached each coupon has To
have the exact number of kilometres
for which it is valid, stamped upon it,
and in case of death or inability 70 con-
tin ue the journey, the railroad is TO re-
deem the unused coupons. be it TO the
owner himself or his heirs.
